Chapter 449: Could She Really Be a Goddess?
“You and I will follow him to the hunting grounds and protect him closely.”
The Qu Yun Realm is just an ordinary mortal world without spiritual power, and no powerful figures can emerge from it. The two of them protecting a mortal is more than enough.
Just as Fei Yuan was about to nod, his eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he looked coldly in a certain direction, "…Luo'er, you and the children wait for me here. I'm going to take care of something."
“Huh?”
Before Sang Luo could call out to him, Fei Yuan lowered his head and quickly kissed her on the face, leaving the words "I'll be back soon," and teleported away.
“The chain…”
She looked down at the energy chain in her hand, which had also disappeared. The phoenix fire mark on the back of her hand was still there—good, so there's no need to be tied together all the time. He did it on purpose!
“Mother, are we going to find Crown Prince Yunhua? Is he the God Lord Yan?” Xiao Yuan asked.
“Yes, a fragment of God Lord Yan's soul has entered the world. Mother and Uncle Fei Yuan came here to find all the soul fragments. Crown Prince Yunhua may encounter danger recently. Mother has to go and keep an eye on him. During this autumn hunt, the Crown Prince may be injured…” A golden light appeared in Sang Luo's palm, turning into a light screen in the air.
Several figures appeared in the light screen, frozen on the tall and slender figure surrounded by guards.
Crown Prince Yunhua and several noble sons were riding horses and carrying bows, heading towards the depths of the hunting ground forest.
The hunting is mainly to train the riding and archery skills of the royal and noble children. Usually, overly dangerous prey is not set, but accidents do happen.
Legend has it that in a past hunt, tigers and black bears from outside the mountains accidentally broke into the hunting ground, tearing a noble son apart and devouring him, leaving no bones. There were also precedents of horses being frightened and accidentally falling off cliffs or being trampled to death…
Xiao Qi said, “My talent is healing. No matter how badly the Crown Prince is injured, I can definitely save him!”
Xiao Yuan also said, “If someone poisons the Crown Prince, I can also dissolve it! The two of us can protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Mother and Uncle Fei Yuan can go find the missing soul fragments.”
Sang Luo was gratified, “My two darlings are really great! That's a good idea. Mother has to think about how to send the two of you to the Crown Prince's side without arousing suspicion…”
Suddenly, a scene in the space-time prediction made Sang Luo's pupils shrink, and she teleported away with the two children.
The time for other passersby on the street stagnated for a moment, then returned to normal, without anyone suspecting anything.
“Strange, weren't that beautiful woman and her two children just here? How did they disappear in the blink of an eye…”
A man scratched his head and left.
…
On the other side, Sang Luo brought the two children to the hunting ground. All kinds of people had already dispersed to pursue their prey, leaving only a few guards at the entrance.
The three of them put on invisibility talismans and moved freely within the hunting ground.
Xiao Yuan asked, “Mother, aren't we waiting for Uncle Fei Yuan?”
“We're not waiting. He can find his way here. Mother predicted that Crown Prince Yunhua would be harmed by villains in the hunting ground, so we have to rush over to save him.”
Not far away, the sound of a horse neighing in fright was heard. Sang Luo rushed over with the children in an instant.
…
In the lush mountains and forests, a slender figure was hidden. Sang Luo sat on a tree, taking in everything within a few miles. The two little snake cubs had turned back into their beast forms and were wrapped around her left and right wrists.
Several guards were surreptitiously scattering some kind of powder on the ground.
Sang Luo had seen in the space-time prediction that they had also sprinkled this powder on Crown Prince Yunhua's steed, “Leaping Shadow,” in advance. This special powder would attract hungry beasts.
Someone deliberately damaged the fence of the hunting ground, and a dozen vicious wolves came into the hunting ground, attracted by the marked scent.
Crown Prince Yunhua, in order to chase a stag, rode his horse alone into the depths of the forest, without any guards around him. The wolf pack pounced from the mountains and forests. The horse, frightened, ran wildly. A few kilometers ahead was a steep cliff thousands of feet high!
The Crown Prince's face was pale, but he was still calm. He held the reins tightly with one hand, barely stopping a few dozen meters away from the cliff. Then, he quickly drew an arrow, bent his bow, and shot an arrow, killing the wolf pouncing from the left. He rapidly drew his bow again, shooting several arrows and killing all the wolves.
But who knew that a ferocious tiger with a fierce light in its eyes would suddenly jump out of the forest, attracting even more beasts with its bloody smell!
Seven or eight large beasts surrounded the Crown Prince on the edge of the cliff. The young man, having grown up so much, was obviously encountering this kind of situation for the first time. Cold sweat dripped down. The horse under him was frightened again and lost control, rushing towards the beasts—
The hungry tiger couldn't wait any longer and bit the horse's leg fiercely, tearing it in half.
Boom!
The young man also fell heavily from the horse's back, and several beasts pounced on him.
At the critical moment, the beasts seemed to see something terrifying and whimpered as they fled in panic! They disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The young man got up from the ground, saw this scene, and was stunned.
Sang Luo breathed a sigh of relief not far away, glad she had made it in time.
“If Mother appears in front of the Crown Prince now, he will definitely regard Mother as a goddess. Mother can take the opportunity to gain his trust, so that it will be more convenient to stay by the Crown Prince's side to protect him, without having to be so secretive.” Xiao Yuan suggested.
Sang Luo praised, “Good idea, daughter!”
Xiao Qi didn't know where he took out a white gauze veil and stuffed it to her, wagging the tip of his tail expectantly, “I saw in the storybooks that the goddesses who descended from the sky all wore this kind of ethereal hat, covering their true faces, mysterious and beautiful, making people fall in love at first sight!”
“That's right, that's right, you have to wear a white dress!”
“…”
On this side, Crown Prince Yunhua was kneeling beside the dying warhorse, a trace of sorrow flashing in his eyes. This was the imperial horse that had followed him for so many years since he was a child.
Just as he took out a cloud-piercing arrow and drew it, a graceful white figure fell from the sky, like a goddess descending.
Crown Prince Yunhua looked at her, his dark pupils trembling.
“You…who are you!”
Sang Luo looked at him with a smile, “I saved you just now. You can call me a goddess!”
Unexpectedly, in the next second, the young man's eyes turned sharp, and he drew his bow and aimed the arrow at her head.
Sang Luo paled, “Ah, what are you doing—”
“Swish!”
The sharp arrow pierced through the air, and Sang Luo didn't have time to think, teleporting away without a trace.
The young man's bow and arrow “smacked!” and fell to the ground. He quickly ran over and confirmed several times that the woman had really disappeared!
How…how could this be?
How could there be such a magical thing in the world?
“Your Highness, your ministers are late to the rescue. Are you alright!?”
The entourage rushed over, and seeing that he was fine, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Crown Prince Yunhua stared blankly in the direction where Sang Luo disappeared, and after a long time, he regained his senses, throwing the longbow to the accompanying guards,
“It's alright.”
His long eyelashes drooped slightly, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart. Why did he feel that the woman was very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere, making him uneasy…
Crown Prince Yunhua turned around and was about to send someone to settle Leaping Shadow, but he saw the steed staggering to its feet from the ground, without any injuries on its body. He was even more dumbfounded.
This—how is this possible?!
He had personally seen one of Leaping Shadow's hind legs torn into two halves by the fierce tiger!
If he wasn't hallucinating before his death, then it was that he had really met a fairy!
There's one more chapter, it will be a little later~ Sweeties, go to sleep first.
